BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's track and field team will head to Lewisburg, Pa. this weekend to compete in the three-day Patriot League Championship meet inside Bucknell's Gerhard Field House. The action begins Friday at 12 p.m. and will continue through Sunday afternoon as the Mountain Hawks will be searching for their first-ever Patriot League Championship.
"Our top kids are still going to be top kids in the league," said head coach Matt Utesch. "We're going to count on points from them, but we also have a great freshmen class that will help us. I think we'll have a lot of points coming out of the multi events, which will be a great start for us."
The Lehigh men put up 70 points to finish fourth at last year's championship meet, finishing behind first-place Navy (204.50), Bucknell (182) and Army (112).
The Mountain Hawk men have impressed all season long and set two Lehigh records thus far. Senior Tyler Mueller set a new Lehigh standard in the 5000 meter race two weeks ago, finishing the race in 14:12.68 which is one of the fastest times in all divisions this season. Junior Adeolu Adesida set a new Lehigh record in the high jump with a mark of 2.18m that was set in the season-opening meet inside Rauch Fieldhouse.
Lehigh is responsible for three of the league's top marks this season. Mueller sits atop the 5000m run, senior Ryan Paquin has earned the best heptathlon score and Adesida's high jump is good for first in the league and 19th nationally.
"We're hoping for some really good marks and excited to see how we stack up against some of the new teams in the league," said Mueller. "We really think we can compete and a few great individual performances can really turn the whole meet around."
This weekend's championship meet will be Lehigh's second-straight meet at Bucknell as the Mountain Hawks competed in the Bucknell Tune-Up last weekend. The unscored meet gave Lehigh the opportunity to preview its Patriot League Championship track.
First team All-Patriot League status goes to the winners of each event, while second-place finishers comprise the second-team All-League squads. Head coaches will vote following the conclusion of the championship on Male and Female Track Athlete, Field Athlete, Rookie and Coach of the Year honors.
After Sunday, those that have qualified from the Mountain Hawks' squad will compete at the IC4A Championships in Boston for a chance to advance to the NCAA Indoor Championships. The IC4As will be held March 7-9.
